Ngaba ujonge ubuso bukaThixo okanye isandla sikaThixo?
Ngaba ukhe wachitha ixesha nomnye wabantwana bakho, kwaye yonke into oyenzileyo ibikukuchitha ixesha kunye nohlobo? Ukuba unabantwana abadala kwaye ubabuze ukuba yintoni abayikhumbula kakhulu ukusuka ebuntwaneni babo, ndiyabheja bakhumbula ixesha owalichitha emva kwemini uthatha inxaxheba kwimisebenzi yolonwabo.
Njengabazali, ngamanye amaxesha kuthatha ixesha ukufumanisa ukuba eyona nto bayifunayo abantwana bethu lixesha lethu. Kodwa oh, ixesha lihlala libonakala liyilento siyifumanayo kunqabile.
Ndikhumbula xa unyana wam wayemalunga neminyaka emine ubudala. Waye kwisikolo sabantwana abasaqalayo, kodwa yayiziintsasa ezimbalwa ngeveki. Ke, phantse rhoqo bendinalo minyaka mine ubudala abafuna ixesha lam. Yonke imihla. Yonke imini.
Emva kwemini bendizakudlala naye imidlalo yebhodi. Ndiyakhumbula ukuba sihlala sisithi "siziintshatsheli zehlabathi", nokuba ngubani ophumeleleyo. Ngokuqinisekileyo, ukubetha umntwana oneminyaka emine ayisiyiyo into yokuqhayisa ngokuqhubeka kwam, kodwa nangona kunjalo, bendihlala ndizama ukuqinisekisa ukuba isihloko sidlulile sibuyele emva. Ewe ngamanye amaxesha.
Unyana wam kunye nam sikhumbula ngothando ezo ntsuku njengezihlandlo ezikhethekileyo xa sakha ubudlelwane. Inyani yile, kuye kwanzima ukuba ndithi hayi kunyana wam emva kokwakha ubudlelwane obuqine ngoluhlobo. Ndiyazi ukuba unyana wam akaxhomanga kum ngenxa nje yento anokuyifumana kum, kodwa ubudlelwane esakhe sabenza babuthetha ukuba xa ecela into, intliziyo yam yayikulungele ukuyicingela.
Kutheni le nto kunzima ukubona ukuba njengomzali, uThixo akahlukanga?
Ubudlelwane yinto yonke
Abanye babona uThixo njengesigebenga uSanta Claus. Ngenisa nje uluhlu lwakho lweminqweno kwaye uya kuvuka kusasa kusasa ukuze ufumanise ukuba yonke into ilungile. Bayasilela ukuqonda ukuba ubudlelwane yinto yonke. Yinto enye uThixo ayifunayo ngaphezu kwayo nayiphi na enye into. Kwaye kuxa sithatha ixesha lokufuna ubuso bukaThixo-otyale imali nje kolo lwalamano luqhubekayo kunye naye-apho athi wolule isandla sakhe kuba intliziyo yakhe ivulekile ukuva konke esikuthethayo.

UThixo uyayixabisa intliziyo enombulelo.
Musa ukoyika ukubonisa uThixo indlela oziva ngayo xa umnqula. Kukho abo baziva bengakhululekanga ukuphakamisa izandla okanye ukubonisa imvakalelo ngexesha lenkonzo. Ukanti kwa aba bantu banokufumaneka kwimidlalo okanye kwiikonsathi bengxola, bevuya bekhwaza ngokungathi kubalulekile. Anditsho ukuba kufuneka utsibe phantsi okanye phantsi okanye ukhwaze. Ukuma nje uvule izandla kubonisa uThixo ukuba intliziyo yakho ivulekile kwaye ufuna ukuziva ubukho bukaThixo, kwaye okona kubaluleke kakhulu:
